I had zero symptoms until I got constipated and couldn’t get rid of it. No blood in my stool, I even had my wife, who’s in the medical field, look at it several times when I thought it looked weird and she didn’t see any. My oncologist said the first polyps probably started 10 years prior but I got all the way to a 5cm tumor before I felt anything

You offered an opinion but no recipe. Velvetta isn’t considered real cheese but it was designed to melt smooth and creamy which is why it’s perfect for fettuccine. Then you add other cheeses to alter the taste to your liking.
It wasn’t written in the recipe but I know for a fact my pawpaw used whatever end piece of cheese they had left at the local deli to put in his fettuccine.

Close, my mawmaw specialized in a pineapple sheet cake

I didn’t have any blood or anything in the toilet. About this time last year I noticed I was going to the bathroom 3-4 times a day. I thought maybe I developed some form of IBS. I would just stare at it before flushing and knew something was different about my shite. Never good, solid turds, always just broken pieces that looked torn.
I went on a carnivore diet late last summer and that’s what caused my initial constipation. After 2 weeks of not being able to shite I went back to eating vegetables and taking fiber but I couldn’t shake the constipation. It got so bad that I stopped eating all together because I was in pain everytime I put food in my stomach. I went back to a normal diet and did several laxatives to clear my system but the constipation would come right back. That’s when I finally gave up and went to the gastroenterologist. To this day I wonder if I hadn’t changed my diet and wrecked my digestive track, how much longer would I have gone before getting checked.

Last summer I kept having problems with constipation. I tried different diets, upped my fiber intake and started taking probiotics but nothing worked. I visited a gastroenterologist and told them my issues and they were wary of doing a colonoscopy on me because I was only 42 at the time but finally they scheduled me after CT scans failed to show anything.
Sure enough my worse fears came true, they found a tumor in my lower rectum and I was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer. I always heard of other people having cancer but it never once crossed my mind that it could be me one day. There was virtually no one in my family that had ever had cancer to my knowledge.
Long story short, I was found to have a genetic mutation that made me more susceptible to certain cancers. Luckily for me, a new treatment called immunotherapy was shown to be highly successful for people with the same mutation as me.
After 6 months of treatment I was able to ring the bell 3 weeks ago and I’m officially cancer free and was even able to avoid having surgery to remove any remaining tumors.
I’m now a huge proponent of telling every guy I know to go get a colonoscopy when they turn 40. It is very treatable if caught early and it’s very easy to dismiss the early symptoms.

I read that the wing struck a light pole. Did the light pole hit the truck?

Gatorade was already nation wide when 10-k came out. 10-k was regional and then Coca-cola threw money at powerade and killed it off

I love hunting and love traveling but I’m too poor to combine them since they both compete for whatever money I have left :lol:

My bucket list trip is a stag hunt in New Zealand

I liked Akureyri way more than Reykjavic. Do they require steel shot? I know they imported some caribou and there’s limited hunting for them. Any activity in the Icelandic backcountry is a plus.

Hiking in Montana with my wife, decided to go off trail and do some mountaineering. We get about halfway up the mountain and bump a grizzly bear with our backs to a cliff edge. Thankfully he wasn’t interested and ran off after staring us down for what felt like an eternity. Bear spray in hand but I don’t think it would’ve helped.
